How do I update Office 2003 on a Windows XP Home system?

[June]

I updated Office 2000 with Office 2003 on a computer with the Windows XP Home
operating system. When I check for Updates, it downloads Service Pack 3 but
hangs on installation. It asks for the file PRORET.msi from the Windows XP
Professional disk. Windows XP Home is on the computer not XP Professional.
What do I do?

XP

This step-by-step article explains the differences between the two editions
of Microsoft Office XP: Retail and Enterprise

PRORET.MSI - it's on the Office XP CD.

Interesting that you updated Office 2000 to Office 2003 and yet it asks for
Office XP?
